How old were you when you finally figured out that everything you had been taught was a lie.
That no one has a fuckin' clue as to what's really going on! For me it was 28. I learned that there's... More > just questions, that's it. At least for now there is—because no one knows. The present moment is all there is. The past and the future are just thoughts in the mind, and the world of ideas emerging from nothing is magic. All events of creation are a magical act, from baseballs to engines – and the notion that ideas change the world is not just a metaphor – the fact is, they do change the world.

More > prejudices can kill and a closed mind can destroy. Where her searches on long, silent nights . . . for faith, strength, and truth . . . drag her through the sewers of the less positive pursuits of man: human slaughter, torture, misery, and anguish. Justice is her only obsession. The pity of it is . . . it’s a world too real. Enter the Fontella Jones Chronicles at your own risk. Telly's a no-nonsense black woman Did you ever meet one? A real one? They don’t suffer fools gladly. There’s no black and white in their world; there’s no shades of gray; there’s only good and bad. That makes them politically incorrect from any direction you come from. There’s no tact; no diplomacy; no spin. They see it like it is and tell it like it is, because they live it like it is. They’re dangerous. That’s Telly.< Less

My name’s Fontella Jones, Telly for short. I’m a cop, a detective, a damned good detective, in East St. Lawrence: a dying city entirely subsidized by strip clubs and a gambling boat that...

Before you start gettin off on white racism and black racism and that politically and socially correct and incorrect bullsh__, you better learn a little bit about me . . . if you’re gonna hang with me.
